Hello

We switched some of our Sparc 10 to Solaris 2.2 and struck the first problems
while adapting our standard '.login'-files, which automatically set the
DISPLAY-Variable (used by X-Windows).

In BSD the 'who am I' command displayed the host from which someone 'rlogin'ed
to the machine. e.g.:
goya% who am i
goya!baumeist ttyp3   Jul 20 13:23      (spitzweg)
                                        ==========
On System V this information is missing. e.g.
spitzweg% who am i
baumeist   /dev/pts/4   Jul 20 14:50

I can't find any option to regain this information (and using the normal 'who'
which still displays the host is much to difficult since then the output
have to be heavily parsed).

Any solutions?

Thanks

Not only the required info is there, but it is complete !
In former SunOSes (and other UNICES) the length was limited, so the domain
part was partially cut off. The following in .login makes me happy :

if ("`tty`" != "/dev/console") then
        setenv DISPLAY `who am i | awk '{print substr($6,2,length($6)-2) }'`:0
        echo Display auf : $DISPLAY
endif
